The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Paper versus Screens

How exactly does the technology we use to read change the way we read? How reading on screens differs from reading on paper is relevant not just to the youngest among us, but to just about everyone who reads—to anyone who routinely switches between working long hours in front of a computer at the office and leisurely reading paper magazines and books at home; to people who have embraced e-readers for their convenience and portability, but admit that for some reason they still prefer reading on paper; and to those who have already vowed to forgo tree pulp entirely. As digital texts and technologies become more prevalent, we gain new and more mobile ways of reading—but are we still reading as attentively and thoroughly? How do our brains respond differently to onscreen text than to words on paper? Should we be worried about dividing our attention between pixels and ink or is the validity of such concerns paper-thin?

Things I love : ‘The intense stare’

I first noticed it with the 2nd gif (which is my favourite btw) and was like ‘fuck if I was the interviewer would probably faint’ because the way he stares at his interlocutor is intimidating and kinda arousing at the same time. I gif a lot of his interviews, and believe me when I say that he actually blinks very frequently, but when he stares at someone like this, when he’s concentrated, he doesn’t blink at all and it feels like he is trying to see into people’s souls, kinda to see their secrets. And that’s really hot.

He’s staring into my soul. <3
